I didn’t realize, or forgot, this was linked to @metanews, and I was close to deleting this essay? Anyway, here’s an updated version, without the original lengthy author’s note and some other references removed, below.

Fandom: Burn Notice

Rating: Teen
Characters: Fiona Glenanne, Michael Westen, Sam Axe, Jesse Porter, Madeline Westen
Pairing(s): Fiona Glenanne/Michael Westen
Contains: kidnapping, guns, non-sexual bondage
Beta(s): P
Prompt(s): For ladiesbingo: Missing persons
Notes: AU after "You Can Run, Part 2/Game Change." This fic starts after that episode (rather than nine months at the start of season 7). A couple of season 7 characters are mentioned, but events do not occur the way they do in season 7. Fic does include mentions to the graphic novel series First Contact, but you don't need to read that series to read this fic. hollymarchosias also did artwork for the fic; it, along with a mix, can be seen here.
Disclaimer: All similarities to any episodes aired after this fic's debut is coincidental.
Summary: Fiona leads a mission to save Michael from a mysterious CIA job in the Dominican Republic.

Also at AO3, in the 2013 Het Big Bang Collection.

Title: ...And All We Got Was This Lousy Russian Spy Job | AO3
Fandom: Burn Notice
Prompt: Episode tags and missing scenes
Medium: fic
Wordcount: 1996
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: no standard warnings apply
Summary: The adventures of Fiona, Madeline and an unlucky Russian spy. Missing scenes from episode 7.04, "Brothers in Arms."

A/N:
Fic deals with a canonical kidnapping and also includes guns, but nothing violent.
There are references to the Campbell arc in season 2 as well as "Reunion."
Parts of this story may be Jossed by future episodes of Burn Notice. And maybe the season 7 DVD, if there are missing scenes.

I've got a heavy day tomorrow, so I'm not going to say much about Burn Notice except for this: I'm sad that it'll be ending, but I really had no plans to get angry with all the plot twists and turns for another season past the seventh. I'm hoping the finale will not be the writers trying to come up with a plausible start for a mythical eighth season. Also, at least they have time to wrap it up, unlike Leverage, ahem.

As for the fandom? If I can still write it, I can hang around. I think. I might not request it anymore for Yuletide, though.

Summary: Some things can be used for other things.

"You sure you have everything?" Sam asked. "'Cause I'm not doing this if you didn't bring everything."

"Sam, I always bring condoms and lube. You know that."

"I have a question, though. I know why you carry condoms around--to make sure your guns don't get detritus. But why the lube? To slide out of tight spaces? Lubricate guns in a pinch?"

"To unravel my bracelets."

"Oh."
